The name Hammam comes from a Jewish word that means “heat”, but the temperature inside is not that high, only about 40 degrees, that allows a visitor to stay inside for hours, without feeling any discomfort or fatigue. The hammam is not just a bath, it´s more like a ritual. It is warm, humid, shadowed and is accompanied by relaxing music. The best is to take a washglove and a piece of soap and massage your body all the time you are inside, then from time to time take a shower and go up to the room of relaxation to have a tea or a coffee.
The price of a visit is 20 Euro per person (no time limits, tea, coffee, a pareo, a towel and slippers included).
Salt and oil body scrub: 15 Euro per 15 minutes.
Address: calle Tomás de Cózar, 13, El Hammam, opening hours – from 10:30 AM till 10 PM.

Millions of years ago these rocks were hidden in the depths of the sea and served as a house fro the shellfish and marine vegetation. Time passed, the climate changes ans allowed the rocks to rise below the sea level. The water and then the winds created singular shapes, surprising and majestic. Today El Torcal is a natural park with its unique ecosystem where more than 700 species of animals and plants can be found. El Torcal is interesting to see in any season of the year: in winter its tops are covered with snow, in spring the orchids are in bloom, in summer it´s a perfect place for a picnic, and in autumn the berries are mellowing.
How to get there: from Antequera Carretera Local MA-9016, km 3′5

In the very center of Málaga, in calle Andrés Pérez, n° 3 there is a little India hidden among the buildings, the boutique Bharat Vars. This oriental corner has been crated by a NPO that helps the people of India, that is why all the benefits coming from the sales of the national clothes of India, jewels, essential oils and decorative units are donated exclusively to meet the needs of the Indian people.
